ROMANEE CONTI 1997 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruu. 2x3cm, 1 damp-stained and wine-stained label, both with Mexican import sticker overlapping front label, import sticker overlapping back label, sign of seepageHeavenly 'sweet', ripe nose. Deeply scented projection. A mouthful of best Burgundian terroir, untrammelled fruit and multi- dimensional flavour. This is a Romanée-Conti that will turn gamey - I am convinced it will be the grouse wine 'par excellence' in ten years' time. Glorious rich, gummy, thick yet elegant texture. Renoir in the glass! Unfolds endlessly. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 952 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
